Kevin, you're not asking for help with our build process. You're
asking for help in reinventing the wheel. We're not interested in
your wheel; we're interested in figuring out why our own wheel (which
took a long time to get right) isn't working for you. We're working
at cross-purposes, so both sides are frustrated.
You've still not given us the information we're looking for. All you
said was that the projects "all fail to build", which isn't helpful at
all.
I know absolutely nothing about win32 or how to build things on that
platform. Yet, after installing VC6 and following the INSTALL file, I
got subversion building in an hour or so. I hit no snags at all.
Granted, this was a year ago, but I (and others) are particularly
curious about the problems you're having. Our goal is to make the
system better for *everyone*, not "help Kevin get something built
somehow."
